Real Greek food. No shortcuts.
Mihai and Roxanna opened Jars Meze in 2013 because Bath had nowhere serving the kind of Greek food they had grown up eating. Not the tourist version. The real thing: slow-cooked lamb, handmade dips, dishes that take hours and taste like it. Every recipe comes from Greece. The meze plates are sized to share, because the best meals happen when the whole table is involved.

Before You Book
What is the best Greek restaurant in Bath?
Jars Meze at 6 Northumberland Place. Open Tuesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner, with meze plates, slow-cooked mains, and gyros. Rated 4.8 from over 1,500 reviews.
How do I book a table?
Book online via OpenTable or TheFork, or call 01225 471434. Friday and Saturday evenings fill quickly.
What kind of food do you serve?
Greek meze: sharing plates, handmade dips, grilled meats, and slow-cooked village dishes like Kleftiko and Stifado. The menu is built around sharing. Order several small plates and eat from the middle.
Are walk-ins welcome?
Yes, when tables are free. On busy evenings we fill up early, so booking ahead is the safer bet. Lunch on weekdays is usually fine as a walk-in.
Is meze the same as tapas?
Meze and tapas are both small shared plates, but they come from different traditions. Tapas is Spanish and built around bar-hopping; meze is Greek and Middle Eastern, and at Jars Meze it's served as the whole meal, not a starter before one. If you liked tapas somewhere else, meze is the Greek version of the same idea, done our way.
Is Jars Meze good for gluten-free or vegetarian diners?
Yes. Several dips, salads, and mains are naturally gluten-free or vegetarian because Greek cooking leans on grilled meat, vegetables, beans, and rice rather than batter or bread. Tell us when you book and we'll walk you through exactly what's safe. Full detail is on the menu page.
